Viktor was surprised by the knock at the door just he was cutting up an apple for Maire. He wasn't particularly expecting anyone, though of course, it was possible it could be someone responding to his posting for legal advice.

He started toward the door, admonishing her to remain in the kitchen, then frowned when he realized someone was peering into a window. His wand came to his hand as he hurried to the door, ready to defend his home. He turned the handle and yanked the door open quickly. "Hello. You are look in window, yet I am not know you. Say what you are want."

Just then he noticed the girl was covered with wet flour and holding ...something that might have been a cake. He lowered his wand slightly, but remained alert. "I am not get new visiting," he added, by way of explanation, deciding that if she were harmless, she woudl understand, and if she were harmful, she also would and it would serve him well to remain on guard

Luna looked up at the wand being aimed at her and huffed. No wonder he didn't get many new visitors if this was how he answered the door to them.

"I wasn't looking into anything. I was merely glancing at my reflection in the window to make sure that my, uh, makeup was still on."

Yes, playing this muck off as a fashion statement was much less embarrassing than being a forgetful mess. Luna smiled back up at the man and spread more of the flour over her cheeks. "White is the new pink you know."

"Now, I know I am coming over rather unexpectadly, but I think it would be very silly to send an owl just across the street, only to introduce myself. Did you know that more owls are injured flying within a one kilometer distance from there home than thirty?"

"And as for the cake," she looked down at the girl. "It's for both of you. Now," she said, placing the cake on the ground and extending her hand. "I'm Luna Lovegood, this man is Viktor Krum and you must be his offspring."

Viktor lowered his wand slowly. He didn't think she was a threat, and really, he wasn't usually paranoid; he was solid at defense of self and others, and he was also quite quick, old and retired or not. "I am make apology. I am new, with have someone to watch for, and I am have ...week of new difficult thing? I am not know how English are say. And I am agree. Owl would be quite boring with very tiny flying."

Maire frowned at the lady. "I'm no offspring! I'm Maire."

Viktor chuckled. "You are Lovegood, which is being street. You must be of family that is of here. This is Maire, who is daughter."

He looked down at the cake. "Maire, perhaps we are take cake in kitchen?" She picked it up and he surreptitiously performed a stability charm on the plate. "Please have carry with careful, so it is not drop."

Luna watched as he studied her. He lowered his wand so she assumed he approved. It wasn't until they started walking inside that she was ashamed to realize she had lowered her hand to her own wand.

"No need for an apology. I guess you can never be to careful, especially with the recent break-ins. And yes, I am Luna of the street and family of Lovegood," she smiled, proud of her family's name and mark upon the town.

She looked down at Maire and raised her eyebrows. "I'm very honoured to meet you. And I think you can be Maire and offspring."

Luna had little to no experience interacting with children and she hoped she was making a decent impression. She looked now at the child and realized that she had to be at least 4. And Viktor was new to this?

"Did you have a nanny before you moved to Stoatshead?"
